Ah, in that case I was under a different impression. I had thought
that the ability to track these editorial delicacies was the primary
purpose of having this rather odd format in a normative document.
Clearly I have not handled this properly, I apologize.
Under the circumstances, if your interpretation of the TR page is
official W3C policy then it might be better to remove my name as an
editor on the TR page. I believe it is there only as a courtesy in
any case, and the document could still acknowledge my contributions
to the relevant sections. I did almost none of the actual editorial
work on this document as it stands, and I think I would prefer to
feel free to criticize it than to have my name on it. I do not
particularly like the way that the semantics is presented here. In
particular, the abstract syntax seems to me to introduce a large
clutter of misleading and unnecessary terminology, and if I had
written an OWL semantics this would have been relegated to an
appendix. So maybe I will :-)
